Join us for an image-rich talk celebrating Women's History Month. The American experiment has allowed for many forms of societal rule-breaking, but historically, women artists often found themselves bound by old-world conventions. In this interactive talk, we take a deep look at the artworks of extraordinary American women artists, some familiar and most less so. These artists often faced difficult choices - making sacrifices in their personal lives or in their careers. Despite evident talent and success, most fell into obscurity with their death. Come discover and closely examine works by women artists who collectively paint a picture of a changing America.

Presented by Rena Tobey, whose greatest passion is making art accessible, invigorating, insightful, and fun. She teaches art history at New York University's School for Professional Studies; conducts lively, interactive tours of museum collections; and provides talks on American art for community organizations. Just for fun, she has created Artventures!® Game--a cheeky party game on the adventures of art and art history.
